This thing is pretty awesome. One problem I have is switching between languages in different rooms - I think it should be a room-level setting.

I agree. It’s amazing.

Just a thought, according to most typing tests I’m at 150WPM. If Verbz has no errors it’s better - if it does have errors I may not be the target niche.
That said, bravo as this will help most people who aren’t adept at typing improve their productivity.
This is a great idea, we hadn't thought of that. We speak 6 languages in our team, so its come up a lot.
We played around with passive detection, but it's still too flakey and ASR breaks down entirely if you start pronouncing names with a different languages pronunciation.
English - Hugo - fine! English - Portuguese pronunciation - Ugo - 100% fail. Portuguese - Ugo - fine!
Awesome feedback!
